High-temperature reactivity and wetting characteristics of Al/ZnO system related to the zinc oxide single crystal orientation
Source abstract
Abstract
Wettability and reactivity of the Al/ZnO couple at a temperature of 1273 K in vacuum have been studied with application of modified sessile drop method. The results obtained for the ZnO single crystal substrates of various orientations evidenced non-wetting by liquid aluminium, showing high contact angles of 100°–107°. Detailed transmission electron microscopy characterization unambiguously proved that the creation of two interfacial layers revealing highly epitaxial growth took place at high-temperature interaction between liquid Al drop and ZnO substrate. The layers of columnar grains consisted of reactively formed Al 2 O 3 and ZnAl 2 O 4 , the second one growing at the expense of the alumina. The alumina was identified as either cubic γ-, tetragonal δ- or monoclinic λ-Al 2 O 3 , depending on subtle changes in chemistry of the surface top layer of the ZnO substrates.
